I myself went through this 41 process and found something that has changed my 42 at college for the better:I discovered ASL-American Sign Language(美式手语).I never felt an urge to 43 any sign language before.My entire family is hearing,and so are all my friends.The 44 languages were enough in all my interactions(交往).Little did I know that I would discover my 45 for ASL.The 46 began during my first week at college. I watched as the ASL Club 47 their translation of a song. Both the hand movements and the very 48 of communicating without speaking 49 me. What I saw was completely unlike anything I had experienced in the 50 .This newness just left me 51 more.After that, feeling the need to 52 further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL club`s meetings.I only learned how to 53 the alphabet that day.

2019全国卷1高考英语完形填空答案详细解析【预览部分】【完形填空答案与详细解析】【主旨大意】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。
本文主要介绍乞力马扎罗山的垃圾污染问题以及当地管理机构努力治理之后环境的改观。
本文就游客对乞力马扎罗山自然环境的破坏展开论述,对山体环境进行介绍,意在引起人们对于自然环境的重视。
41. D。
考查动词词义辨析。
译文:每年有40,000人到非洲最高的山脉乞力马扎罗山(Kilimanjaro)旅游,他们带来了许多废品垃圾。
解答此题根本不用费什么心思,读完第一、第二句马上就明白:此题是因果逻辑推断题,即第一句是原因,第41空句是结果。
根据前文Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.可知每年都有很多人去游览乞力马扎罗山,由此可推测该空是说游客将垃圾废物随身带到了山上。
keep with意为“把……与……放一起”;mix with意为“(使)与……混合/结合”;connect with意为“与……连接”;bring sth. with sb. 意为“某人随身带来……”;故只有选项D切题。
故选D。
42.C。
考查名词词义辨析。
译文:拥挤的人群破坏了美丽的乞力马扎罗山。
此题仍然属于因果关系推断题。
根据上一句Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.可知,每年有大约四万人游览乞力马扎罗山,所以此处是指游客所造成的破坏,由此推断出本题答案是crowds(拥挤的人群)。
A. stories故事;B. buildings建筑物;C. crowds人群;D. reporters记者。
故选C。

If you've seen Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,you've probably sung along to the dwarfs' classic happy song,“Heigh Ho.” In the summer of 2019,the dwarfs have a new song—and look—in Disney XD's animated series (动画系列),The 7D.The new TV show features a pleasant theme song written and performed by Parry Gripp.Gripp's theme introduces the 7D—Happy,Doc,Grumpy,Sneezy,Bashful,Dopey,and Sleepy —to the audience at the start of each half-hour show.“The theme song is in kind of a punk (朋克) rock style,”Gripp said.“It's pretty fast and has guitars and the tone of my voice is a bit nasal (鼻音) and aggressive.But the music in the show really changes.”The 7D follows Happy,Doc,Grumpy,Sneezy,Bashful,Dopey,and Sleepy on their adventures working in a jewel mine in the town of Jollywood,before they met Snow White.Jollywood is ruled by Queen Delightful,a kind queen who calls on the 7D for any problem.Problems frequently arise as a pair of bad couple Hildy and Grim Gloom plan to take over the throne (王座)or take magical jewels away.“Grim and Hildy want to be constant thorns in the side (眼中钉) of the 7D and the Queen,” the producer Tom Ruegger said.“Having Kelly Osbourne join the cast [as the voice of Hildy] has been a real bonus(意外收获) and the audience praised his performances highly.I didn't expect that.”Ruegger,who previously worked on hit animated shows Animaniacs and Tiny Toon Adventures,has been developing The 7D since 2019.“It's old-school in that you have the same names as in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” Ruegger said.“But there is a lot of innovation to it:new designs,very new colorful characters,brand new voices and settings.”Many of Gripp's songs are performed by Happy.“I think Happy is sort of the heart a nd soul of The7D,”says Ruegger.“He's so positive and his singing and the songs that he delivers add a lot of energy to the show.”Fittingly,Gripp says Happy is the 7D member he relates to most.“But my favorite character is Grumpy because he is so funny.”【语篇解读】文章介绍了最新动画音乐剧The 7D的相关信息。

Air pressure is a powerful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water pushing on your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending t o about five kilometers above the Earth’s surface.The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised, because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment!What you need·A hard-boiled egg without the shell·A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg·A piece of paper·A matchMethod1)Check that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.2)Tear the paper into strips and put the strips into the bottle.3)Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.4)Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.ResultAstonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.Why it happenedAs the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen (air)in the bottle. The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle, so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air presses against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on us.1. Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?A. The bottle could break.B. You need to light the paper with a match.C. The egg needs to be shelled.D. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.2. In the experiment, the burning inside the bottle can______.A. equalize the air pressure inside and outsideB. make a seal in the neck of the bottleC. finish up the oxygen inside the bottleD. produce more oxygen inside the bottle3. How did the egg get into the bottle?A. The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in.B. It became soft without the shell.C. The neck of the bottle was wide enough.D. The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.4. The experiment is carried out to prove________ .A. water pushes on your body when you swim underwaterB. the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphereC. the pressure of air around us has a powerful forceD. the air pressure is not equalized around us参考答案7、【文章大意】本文通过一个小实验向我们证明周围空气的气压是非常强大的。
